Libertia peregrinans (New Zealand Iris)

Shirley this one is a spreader.......our Libertia are all in the ground, I would plant the large one, and pot up the small ones, Peter has just planted up all the babies......to sell on open day!

Mine from Dd is in the garden, doing well.

I am pleased to hear that .......I wish our other Libertia varieties would seed around.....

Dotty, this one was bought from a local garden on the village open day! I shall do just what you suggest ... not today though as it's so foggy I can barely see the back garden fence ... :o(

Does Libertia flower?

Karen, the RHS state that it has panicles of saucer-shaped white or blue flowers, followed by orange seed capsules. My specimen is young and I have not seen any flowers yet! Angela may know more . . . . .

Shirley, my plain green L. grandiflora flowers profusely, 28th May last year, but it would fill that pot, it's that large.

Sounds lovely Siris ... :o)

The green doesn't seem to run, just clumps up thickly. For that reason never bothered to take seed.

Thank you! :)

I agree with DottyD . . my 'gold' Libertia is happy in the ground, but hasn't spread, whereas I have green ones EVERYWHERE :)

I have taken out seven baby ones today, potted them up and left the larger original one in the pot. My plan is to plant the babies, when they've grown bigger, into the front gravel garden. Just have to wait a while!

Btw the white flowers are very pretty :)

I shall look forward to seeing some in the Summer ...
